So... MTS has really hit me. I was at a garage sale yesterday and someone was getting rid of a 20L tank, filter, and heater for $10! Couldn't say no 
Only thing missing was a light. I was able to source a small LED Ikea lamp from a friend. All the hardscape and plants are from my other tanks.
I was wondering, would this be sufficient light? On the Ikea website it says it runs at 100 lumens. Also, it's a "warm white" color, is that alright for plant growth? The plants are val, Brazilian pennywort, and a touch of pearl weed. Chucked some red root floaters in there too
.
Another question I had was if it's possible to grow algae on the main rock. Just enough to make it "green" and add a little more colour to the tank.
On that note... I feel like it's missing something. It's a very small tank so I'm not sure what more I could add, but it just seems a bit "off". Any ideas?
